Little 9. The conference is in a transition between the last 4 years and what is to come, a return to old form. Lloyd's lack of concern with the years after his departure, Rich Rod's failures and the Boardwalk Empire being ran at Ohio State resulted in a couple of odd years. Hokeamania is running wild now and five stars are pounding on Ohio State's doors at an alarming rate. The conference is two years away from stabalizing with the peices where they should be.

Don't think it will necessarily be exactly the way it used to, but I could see the B1G turning into a watered-down version of the SEC. By that, I mean that there are several good teams, a couple of great teams, and two truly elite teams. I think OSU and UMich will be to the B1G what LSU and Alabama are to the SEC: the banner-carriers, the consistent national title contenders, or in other words, the measuring stick.

Attention campers. Lunch is cancelled due to lack of hustle. Deal with it.
